    with such a great attitude no matter what your situation is you always try and stay positive and look for the answer and then do it .. when you get a new truck or when you crash the trailer or the axles break and you made the mistake of buying new axles that didn't fit .... you didn't get all screaming mad at others or how you have such bad luck or how the guy should have done this or that because it wasn't your fault ... you dealt with the problem like a boss and moved forward
    when others have the issues that you have shown on this channel they would have made excuses to quit and blame others for their failures and yet you look at the positive and make the changes that you need and down the road you go making money and now helping so many others to make the same sorta money and all they need is the same sorta of attitude and drive then quite possibly will become a success like what you seems to be doing ... nice new family with a great home a prosperous career

I love driving and hauling stuff. Just want to get paid for it. Just would love to know how to start off young. I saw your video on how to start. But doesn’t tell me anything because I’m young.

Thats your equipment and it is what pays your bills. Today its 1 bend, tomorrow another. Next thing you know you have to replace the rail because you can't run straps anymore. Now you miss work on your dime fixing their mess up. Learned along time ago. After all if we mess up their product they hold us accountable. Please hold them accountable.

      Some people really do have the knack for it
      I was working as a mechanic in the army and got thrown into the supply position because they needed someone who was computer literate to fill until the new 92a got done in processing. This was after I did a similar position for 2 years in Germany. Hardly ever touched a vehicle. Instead I just coordinated the maintenance and financial side of TMPs. (We weren't allowed to work on the TMPs because they're leased through a 3rd party organization that's local to Germany) Thats when I learned I have more passion for logistics than as a mechanic. Don't get me wrong I love getting dirty under the hood but I love transportation and logistics more.
      I spend way less time mad at inanimate objects and people working in transportation. So overall I'm just happier. It was a win win for me.
